The Knesset Constitution Committee will discuss changing the Knesset electoral system from direct voting to a mixed system including proportional representation, committee chairman Menachem Ben Sasson (Kadima) said. The hearings will start after the suggested government reforms pass first reading in the Knesset.

The suggested change would require a change in the Basic Law and the approval of all five coalition parties. Other suggested changes include requiring ministers and their deputies to resign from the Knesset in order to allow MKs to be more active in legislative affairs and allow ministers to concentrate on their ministries.
